Kay Suthar here, and I'm super excited to introduce you to an amazing guest we had on the Make Your Mark Podcast, Jenny Bellinger. She's a certified professional coach who's doing incredible things, especially for direct sales moms with ADHD. Her journey is a rollercoaster of inspiration, starting as a middle school science teacher and evolving into a direct sales powerhouse.

From Middle School Science Teacher to Direct Sales Dynamo

Alright, let's get into it. Jenny kicked off her career teaching middle school science. But after a series of interviews and a string of "no's," she felt the universe nudging her in a different direction. That's when an invitation to a direct sales event landed in her lap. Jenny took this as a sign and decided to pivot. It's a powerful lesson for all of us: sometimes when one door closes, another one swings wide open. You just have to be ready to walk through it.

ADHD as a Superpower in Direct Sales

Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room: ADHD. Jenny has flipped the script on what many consider a 'disorder,' turning it into a superpower that fuels her coaching methods. She's leveraged her ADHD to intensely focus on business growth activities. This unique approach has been a cornerstone of her coaching business and a game-changer for her clients. It's a lesson for all of us: your unique tra

The Power of Persistence

One thing that really resonates with me about Jenny is her grit and persistence. Despite facing setback after setback, including 18 job rejections, she never threw in the towel. Her persistence paid off big time when she finally found her calling in direct sales. This is a key lesson she emphasizes in her coaching: setbacks are just setups for epic comebacks.

The Perfect Storm: Timing and Opportunity

Jenny describes her entry into direct sales as a "perfect storm" of circumstances. The company she joined had a long history but was new to her city. This gave her the stability of a long-standing company with the excitement of a ground-floor opportunity. And the cherry on top? The entry cost was just five bucks! It's a great reminder that sometimes the stars align just right, and when they do, you've got to seize the moment.

Conclusion: Your Traits Are Your Triumphs

To wrap things up, Jenny Bellinger's story is a powerful testament to the idea that you can turn your unique traits into superpowers. Whether it's ADHD or any other characteristic, the key is to understand yourself and find a path that allows you to shine.
